Verratti: PSG 'ready for Real Madrid'

The midfielder believes he and his team-mates are ready for the challenge of their midweek Champions League last 16 tie

Marco Verratti thinks he and his Paris Saint-Germain team-mates are ready for their Champions League with Real Madrid, while manager Unai Emery has not decided on the XI he will name for the last 16 showdown.

PSG beat Toulouse 1-0 on Saturday, the Ligue 1 leaders claiming victory as Neymar returned to action after sitting out the midweek Coupe de France win over Sochaux and scored the game's only goal.

Focus now shifts to Wednesday's Champions League first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Verratti, who came off the bench in the win, believes PSG are set for the challenge.
